[ action for 07-ghost house ]
[ Shuri had started doing laundry. Not started, attempted. But after the machine had begun to bubble over and it began making angry, congested sounds, the young noble decided it might be better to get someone more suited for the job. ]
Mikage! Come over here, I need some help with the laundry. [ no reply. ] ... Mikage? [ ... ] Mikage, don't you ignore me! This is your job, be grateful that I'm doing it for you! [ Huffing, he stomps on into the living room.
There's no cheeky grin waiting for him. No put upon sigh. ] ... Mikage?
[ ... The rest of the house is thoroughly searched. Nothing. No sign, no trace. The magazines that once sat on the table are gone. ] Mikage, this isn't funny! Come out here and help me!
[ Nothing. Gone, gone, gone.
He's half frantic. By the time he gets to the other teen's room, he already knows what's happened. ]
[ voice ]
... Uh.
[ Shuri clears his throat. The snapshot shows bright blue, bloodshot eyes. He sniffles hard, presses the heels of his hands into his eyes, and tries to compose himself. ]
[ His lower lip trembles. ] Mikage, he... He promised. This isn't fair. This isn't fair at all... I...
[ He flings the journal shut with one hand, taking deep, shuddering breaths to compose himself. It's not right, it's not fair, he already had to deal with this once why does it have to happen again? After they made everything better, and...
Eventually, after much stifled tears and muffled sobbing, Shuri brings the book back to him. He doesn't look at it, instead his gaze is set to a fixed location just under the book. ]
Mikage Celestine has gone home.

Mikage Celestine has gone home.
[voice]
Um, is there anything you need, Shuri?
[voice]
But didn't Mikage always say that he shouldn't try to adhere to those standards? ] ... I'm just going to go out.
[voice]
Um, are you going anywhere in particular? [Miiight be a good idea to keep an eye on him, afterall!]

[And, lo and behold, he'll soon have made his way over! Sure, he hasn't really dressed for the weather, but he was in a hurry! What if Shuri-san went off without him?]
ction]
But here you have it. Shuri Oak, leaning against the side of his house, looking rather composed and probably alarmingly tear-free. He's picking at his sleeve listlessly, but stops to wave when Aoba comes on over. ]
[action]
Well... he seems better than expected!] Ah... I'm not late, am I Shuri-san?
tion]
He just shakes his head. ] Let's go.
[action]
Nodding!] Sure! I'll follow Shuri-san's lead, I guess! [Otherwise they'd just waste time at the library...]

[ And... the woods is a nice place to walk. Even if there are bears. Or maybe because there are bears. ]
[action]
Yay, wandering the wild woods! Now, how to make conversation!] So... does Shuri-san like placed like this?
[action]
[ He snaps out of his thoughts, looking over at the shorter boy. ] ... No, not really. At least not here. My family has lovely gardens that are nice to be in.
